I've probably read most of them already. You simply can't take a speech from one year and blankly apply it to a situation years into the future. If the intent is to justify war, that's downright reckless and unethical. We all know Clinton thought Iraq was a threat...and that he didn't go to war over it.

As to the bombing of the WTC in 1993, to think that this was triggered by Clinton's Iraq policy is laughable. Please cite some references...
